Chapter 1193: Her Pride Was Hurt
In the midst of pressing affairs, Li Mengxia felt sympathetic toward her master. She could see his solitary figure and felt quite sorry for him. In theory, she should not allow herself to get distracted even the slightest bit when maneuvering the vessel. However, Li Mengxia’s attention was taken away for a brief moment, and the ship started to face turbulence as though she was sailing a pirate ship through violent seas.
The ship was not very spacious. Under tremendous jolts, Di Fuyi’s body threw himself at Gu Xijiu. She did not see him coming and collapsed onto the ground along with him. She had become his cushion!
He was tall, and she was petite. Hence, Gu Xijiu was entirely in his embrace when he pinned her to the ground. His scent shrouded her entirely, and Gu Xijiu’s heart started to beat out of control, and her face was utterly reddened.
She yearned for his embrace, but there were outsiders around them. Two pairs of eyes were watching, and so, she quickly pushed him away. "Get up."
Without any hesitation, Di Fuyi got up. "It was too bumpy. I was not careful enough." He then turned to reprimand the one who caused him trouble, "Li Mengxia, are you looking for trouble? How could you sail the ship in such a way? I will deduct your pay once we are back!"
Li Meng Xia trembled. Intimidated, she responded timidly, "Master, please do not. I am too poor even to afford a dress. I bought this dress on credit."
Di Fuyi answered, in all seriousness, "I don’t care, unless Miss Gu does not blame you, or else I will deduct your money."
Li Mengxia quickly begged Gu Xijiu for forgiveness. "Miss Gu, please forgive me. Please help me ask for master’s forgiveness. I have dependents at home, so I cannot afford to have any reduction in my pay."
Gu Xijiu did not know what to say. She was the victim. What was there to blame Li Mengxia for? It was Di Fuyi who seized the opportunity to take advantage of her!
